We’re acting like we know who the enemy is because Donald Trump told us in no uncertain terms that he refused to accept the results of the election unless he was declared the winner.

No generalizations liberals make about conservatives should overshadow this undeniable truth.
There was no “good faith disagreement” about the Presidential election. It was a coordinated propaganda campaign stemming directly from the former President and his allies in conservative media.

They lied to their followers, shamelessly and repeatedly.

I’m not sure what good it does for us to know that most GOP voters support policies that few, if any, of their preferred elected officials have any intention of implementing. Whereas virtually no Democratic politicians support the extreme policies they use to taint our side.
How many Republicans would use words like that to describe the events of January 6th? Particularly “criminal”?

No points for Republicans who were horrified as it was happening but changed their stories as the months went by.

So I’m genuinely undecided about Merrick Garland right now. I’ve got pro- and anti-Garland voices in my feed, and believe there are legitimate arguments on both sides.

(1/x)
Of course, Democrats have to make their case above ground and by the book. And it’s probably naïve to think that we can land the big fish without convicting many, many intermediate perps along the way.

However.

(2/x)
It is also naïve to suggest court outcomes are objective, or that they are immune to external factors such as urgency, or the perception thereof.

In layman’s terms: the longer this drags out, the less likely that anything will happen to Trump.

Does anyone dispute this?

RETURN OF THE P.O.P. QUIZ

(Political Orientation and Perception)

Note: These are rhetorical questions, so I assure you that it is absolutely not necessary to respond with your answers. And it’s not as if my Notifications need any more traffic.
JANUARY 6

We commemorate the anniversary of January 6, 2021 because:

(D) the followers of a sitting U.S. President violently attempted to obstruct election certification
(R) brave patriots took to the streets in a valiant effort to restore their true leader to the seat of power
IMPEACHMENT

There are circumstances under which the U.S. Congress has little choice but to impeach a sitting President. That time is when:

(D) he abuses the tremendous power at his disposal
(R) we have a Congressional majority and we fucking feel like it

Welcome to life in 2022, where the lion’s share of what passes for political discourse consists of Explaining Extremely Obvious Things to People Who Refuse to Listen
- Despite what many angry and misinformed people will tell you, Twitter is a private platform with the right to enforce their own standards as they see fit. Nobody is entitled to post here. And being deplatformed is not equivalent to being silenced.
- If Twitter warns you not to say certain things on their platform, and you deliberately and repeatedly choose to say them anyway, you are not a victim. Rather, you have willfully contributed to your own deplatforming from Twitter.

This is a surprisingly durable assessment
60% of the country believes that the best plan for the pandemic involves social distancing, masks, and vaccines.

The other 40% believes that mask restrictions & vaccine mandates are tools of the Deep State to curtail our freedoms, because they are Out of Their Fucking Minds.
60% of the country believes that there is nothing wrong with public schools acknowledging the existence of institutional racism.

The other 40% think CRT is a Democrat-driven plot to brainwash children into hating white people, because they are Out of Their Fucking Minds.

As reluctant as I am to give Candace Owens credit for insight of any kind, I do wonder if she may have been onto something when she suggested that Trump’s recent isolation from social media left him unprepared for how his base would react to his pro-vaccine stance
Let’s review: During his Presidency, Trump unquestionably sowed mistrust against the CDC and Dr. Fauci for contradicting his glib dismissals of the seriousness of COVID-19.

But it was always Trump’s plan to take credit for any cures or life-saving treatments, vaccines included.
Trump’s base took the anti-Fauci sentiment and rolled with it, but were already too far down the “Vaccines Are Deep State Poison” rabbit hole by the time Trump attempted to redirect the narrative back to Dr. Trump’s Miracle Elixir of Life.

COVID: THE MUSICAL

D:

The Omicron variant is spreading ‘round
We’d better isolate until the threat dies down

R:

Oh, here we go again with your damn restricted areas
I’m not afraid of your liberal hysteria
D:

That doesn’t mean COVID won’t affect you
I don’t think your lack of fear will protect you

R:

If it were up to you the shutdowns would be permanent
You just want to keep us docile and subservient
D:

That’s not what it’s about
But if you weren’t so short-sighted
You’d take the vaccine
The end would be expedited

R:

You’d like that, wouldn’t you
I’ve got my pride
Not gonna let the Deep State
Control my insides
